Abstract :
The possibility of obtaining temporal jumps and inhomogeneous spatial distributions of the concentration of free protons during the laser emission of a dye laser composed by two acid-base species is shown using the numerical resolution of the corresponding set of balance equations. The differences of behavior between the case of equilibrium or nonequilibrium in the excited state are stated. The possible generation of transient photoelectrochemical effects is discussed
